Thelma....Toi....Same Thing

"Grandma,
are you
gonna eat
me? I hope
not."
"No, you
little slice
of pie, I'm
not gonna
eat you."
"Grandma,
how come
your name
is Toi?"
"Well, actually my name is Thelma. My mom's name is Thelma
but they call her Maile. My Tutu's name was Thelma too. But we
called her Tutu. So they somehow felt 'compelled' to name me
Thelma. But what happened was that I looked so much like a little
Chinese girl when I was small-baby-time, that they called me
'Ming-Toi', like the old song about the Chinese Girl. So, a lot of my
family called me Ming-Toi for many years....and after awhile it just
got shortened to Toi."
"So, you had a Tutu named Thelma. Isn't that a ballerina's skirt?"
